Shopping for 2nd car

I will be purchasing an sc430 (preferably budget between 10 - 15k and would like some feedback on my current deal.

I am currently located west coast and will be paying for delivery for a Indigo Ink Pearl 2002 SC430 w/ saddle interior. Looking to enjoy life and ride around with the top down.

Below are the current specs:

Model SC 430
Engine 4.3l V8 Mpi Dohc
Transmission Auto
Mileage 124199

The seller told me that this car was his bosses wifes car and she recently upgraded to an IS 350 C. The current price listed is 12,900 and after negotiating, he would accept 12 flat but will let me know the final price after delivery and sales tax is included.

Is now a good time to buy or will the summer time spike for cost of this vehicle?

Also, is it a good idea to have Pep Boys inspect the car before clearing the purchase and delivery process? (Have not received price quote from Lexus Dealer)
